green dial Luminor desired, need opinions

I am looking to purchase a green dial Luminor, please let me know your thoughts on which to purchase, if you own and compared as well. And aware if the green dials are same color, or vary slightly?

While I do like the 911, I prefer the 1950s case, and so am considering the following:

- Panerai PAM00693 Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic Titanio, Harrod's limited 44 mm -- 100 made

- Panerai PAM1056 Luminor 1950 GMT, MS Dhoni limited edition, Green Dial 44mm Automatic -- 251 made

Will use green rubber band on it, so please only judge face not band in photos.

Which do you prefer, why? Does less made matter in terms of limited -- 100 vs. 251? One dial too busy than the the other?

Any help/insights much appreciated!

I would personally go with the 1056. The gmt hand can also be hidden behind the hour hand for a 'cleaner' look as well.

If not 911, then 1056. I think the Arabic dial looks better on a black dial.

Good luck with your choice.

1056 but there's a really nice Radiomir with green dial that should be considered, not sure on reference but it is current.

Any additional thoughts on this one, with the 9010 movement?

Thanks to all, really do prefer 1950 case. Found last brand new one in North America, from Panerai Boutique. I guess most went to India.
